New Case idea for SCT scopes (and others)

I've been recently looking for a case for a 10" Meade LX200 SCT, and I didn't want to drop $500-$600 on a JMI case. Pelican has a brand new case called the 1780T, which is their largest. It is made for military and SWAT applications to carry a dozen assault rifles, but you can get it with the standard pick and pluck foam. The interior dimensions are 42" x 22" x 15", which I found fits the shipping foam inserts for that scope extremely well. It also has a 50/50 split, so the lid is as deep as the base (perfect for the standard shipping foam inserts). You have a space about 7" x 22" x 15" deep left over for accessories. You can buy them online for anywhere from $350-$600, but the shipping costs are hefty. I found a local distributor of Pelican products for local pickup and I purchased it for $354 and no shipping. This thing is awesome! Totally bomb-proof. It's waterproof, shock-resistant, airtight, and you can drive a truck over it (literally). The lid lifts completely off for easy access to the equipment inside. It also has integrated wheels and a handle, which makes it very easy to move around. I don't think that there is a better case made for this application. As I said, it fits the 10" Meade SCT perfectly, but I suspect that you could customize it to fit other fork mounted scopes or scopes + equatorial mounts very easily.
